Saturday morning, I jumped out of bed (seriously) and went to the gym for a run on the treadmill (again, seriously). \u00a0It felt so great (you got it, seriously)! \u00a0I was full of energy the rest of the day and when Paul called to go for a cross country\u00a0ski<\/strong>, I was super pumped. \u00a0I managed to get a couple of pictures off before my camera died in the cold. \u00a0A new camera needed for Christmas, perhaps? \u00a0Paulie…hint, hint.<\/p>\n

Super Pumped!<\/p><\/div>\n

We love to cross country ski in the ski trails above my house . . . South Star Trails<\/strong>. \u00a0They’re great in the summer too for mountain biking. \u00a0A perfect place to live . . . all season uses.<\/p>\n

Camera on it's last legs in the cold . . . that's all I could get from our day. Too cold for the batteries I guess.<\/p><\/div>\n

It was an absolutely beautiful day to go out in the winter weather . . . and what better way than to end of the ski adventure than a steaming cup of hot chocolate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Mmmmm, hot chocolate.<\/p><\/div>\n

Since this is a cardio<\/strong> post I thought I would do some research on the benefits of Cross Country Skiing<\/strong>. \u00a0Here’s a little of what I found and what I know.<\/p>\n
